[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

I pretty much usually think of baby names when I’m out walking my dog. :joy:

Here are my thoughts-

Girls-

alaska fable-Alaska is a really pretty word, & this combo sounds nice. I’m not ready to accept it as a given name yet for some reason.

ivy eleanor-I love love the [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] part. I like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] in theory. It’s vintage & spunky & botanical. I just don’t like the sound as much as other people seem to.

amalthea iris-Interesting combo. I like the nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f]!

minerva owl ‘nim’-I’ve never been into [name_f]Minerva[/name_f]. I don’t like the ‘nerv’ part. But this is a neat combo anyway. [name_f]Nim[/name_f] is kind of fun for a nn. I also like [name_f]Minnie[/name_f].

maisey epiphany-Epiphany is a bit much, but I do love [name_f]Maisey[/name_f]. Would change to [name_f]Maisy[/name_f].

marla sparrow-Marla is not my cup of tea, but this is a fun unexpected combo. [name_u]Sparrow[/name_u] is so lovely.

april marieke-April is a tad dated in my opinion.

jona plum-Not sure I like this one. [name_f]Plum[/name_f] reminds me too much of plump.

casper lilibet-I like [name_m]Casper[/name_m] a lot for a boy. It doesn’t feel too unisex in my opinion.

katherine mabel july-That’s nice. [name_m]Classic[/name_m] & a little whimsical. I can never decide if I prefer [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], but edge towards [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] because of the nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u]. [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Kit[/name_u]!

elowen joan-Ooh, [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]. It’s very pixie like yet feels sleek & smart. I love the nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] too. [name_u]Joan[/name_u] is kind of charming, even though it’s not the best flow.

ophelia daisy ruth-I don’t know why I don’t care for [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]. Most people seem to love it. It feels too dramatic for me. The [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] part though is just :heart_eyes: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

amy meadowlark-That’s kind cute & interesting. I always thought that just [name_u]Lark[/name_u] had a harsh sound even though I like the bird imagery. But [name_u]Meadowlark[/name_u] is softer.

tilly madelief-That’s actually kind of cute even though neither of these names are quite my cup of tea.

lenora coast-Ooh, I never thought of [name_u]Coast[/name_u] as a word name. [name_f]Lenora[/name_f] [name_u]Coast[/name_u] is gorgeous.

mona ardith fern-Hm. I love the [name_f]Fern[/name_f] part. Not big on [name_f]Mona[/name_f]. It just reminds me of the word moan.

iona maeve-Oh, that’s really pretty & different.

willoughby fawn-Not into [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u]. It sounds too goofy.

Boys-

frederick autumn-I would generally find [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] too feminine, but as a mn w/such a strong handsome masculine classic like [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], I like it! I’m really loving Fred/Freddie lately.

hazel william-Hazel feels too feminine. I love [name_u]William[/name_u]. [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] isn’t bad.

remy alexander-That’s kind of handsome. [name_u]Remy[/name_u] is charming.

beck rhodes-Hm. A bit abrupt. [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] [name_u]Rhodes[/name_u] would flow better.

elias peregrine ‘pip’-Aw, [name_u]Pip[/name_u]. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :heart_eyes: This is a handsome combo. But I’d probably just do [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u] [name_u]Elias[/name_u] if you wanted to do the nn [name_u]Pip[/name_u].

truett wilde-Cool mn, but I’m not into [name_m]Truett[/name_m]. Not sure why.

linus johnson-Linus is adorable. I don’t care much for [name_m]Johnson[/name_m].

jack valentine-That’s really cute & classic.

elio corentin-Meh, I can’t get into [name_m]Elio[/name_m]. It feels incomplete.

moses florian-Both personally nice names & this flows well. Not my cup of tea, but I have no good reason not to like them.

vincent june-Vincent is nice enough. Doesn’t excite me. [name_u]June[/name_u] is better for a girl.

august griffin-Love [name_u]August[/name_u]. It’s a pretty word but feels masculine & strong.

march isidore-I don’t know that I like the sound of [name_u]March[/name_u] that much.

calvin laurence-That’s handsome. I like this spelling of [name_u]Laurence[/name_u].

herschel appleby-Kind of cute, but I don’t think that I like the sound of [name_m]Herschel[/name_m].

jakob olivier-That’s nice. I like [name_m]Jakob[/name_m] & am okay w/this spelling, but [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] is probably easier.

i’m absolutely swooning over this list, cas!

as a whole, they are magical, gorgeous and so lush; i’m really having trouble narrowing down favorites!

i think it has to go to casper lilibet, because casper on a girl is brilliant!

i also adore frederick autumn and vincent june :pleading_face:

Favorites for girls - [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Maisey[/name_f] [name_f]Epiphany[/name_f], [name_f]Marla[/name_f] [name_u]Sparrow[/name_u], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_u]Joan[/name_u], [name_f]Lenora[/name_f] [name_u]Coast[/name_u], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], and [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u] [name_f]Fawn[/name_f].

I don’t really like [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] [name_u]Fable[/name_u] it sounds like a movie title. [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] [name_u]Owl[/name_u] I’m just not a fan of [name_u]Owl[/name_u] as a middle name.

Favorites for boys - [name_u]Remy[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_u]Beck[/name_u] [name_u]Rhodes[/name_u], [name_u]Elias[/name_u] [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u], [name_m]Truett[/name_m] [name_u]Wilde[/name_u], [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Johnson[/name_m], [name_u]Jack[/name_u] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u], [name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_m]Corentin[/name_m], [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Griffin[/name_u], and [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] [name_u]Laurence[/name_u].

I don’t really like [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] [name_u]William[/name_u] I just associate [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] as being a girl’s name. [name_u]March[/name_u] [name_m]Isidore[/name_m] just feels too out there for me. [name_m]Herschel[/name_m] Appleby again with it feeling too out there for me.

You have a lot of great names here!

alaska fable - such magical wintry imagery
ivy eleanor - I actually had this combo on my list for a while so of course I have to love her!
minerva owl ‘nim’ - minerva nn nim is brilliant, and this combo just exudes wisdom
amy meadowlark - these names just complement each other so well, so warm and friendly
katherine mabel july - I love seeing july!

hazel william - I’m loving hazel for a boy
march isidore - love seeing march used!
calvin laurence - this combo is just so handsome
herschel appleby - never heard of appleby but works perfectly with herschel, feels of leather and fall
jakob olivier - just love olivier and jakob is perfectly sharp enough to contrast with olivier’s softer edges

I also like: tilly madelief, lenora coast, remy alexander, jack valentine

elowen joan is a bit repetitive to me, the long o in both and the shared n endings. maybe elowen june, elowen jade, elowen truth, elowen veda.

alaska fable - this feels so whimsical and lovely

ivy eleanor - vintage and pretty

amalthea iris - [name_f]Amalthea[/name_f] has such a lovely meaning and feels so bold! I like the sharpness of [name_f]Iris[/name_f] besides it

minerva owl ‘nim’ -I do think it flows well and is an intriguing name but it feels very, very [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] and since [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] means mind/intellect and owls are associated with wisdom it feels a tiny bit too much for me. [name_f]Nim[/name_f] is super cool though. A few other ideas: [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] [name_u]Lark[/name_u], [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] [name_u]Glow[/name_u], [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_u]Owl[/name_u] “Nim”

maisey epiphany -light, bright and interesting. I think I’d slightly prefer the look of [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] [name_f]Epiphany[/name_f]

marla sparrow - ooh, this is warm and earthy. I like it

april marieke -unexpected with a bit of kick!

jona plum -Jona on a girl is pretty sweet and I enjoy [name_f]Plum[/name_f] here! [name_u]Joni[/name_u] [name_f]Plum[/name_f] would be cute too!!

casper lilibet -ooh [name_m]Casper[/name_m] on a girl! Intetesting and unexpected. [name_m]Casper[/name_m] [name_f]Lilibet[/name_f] has a sweet flow.

katherine mabel july - [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] isn’t my favourite but the flow of this is beautiful

elowen joan -love the warm and earthy [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_u]Joan[/name_u] works but the O and N sounds a tad repetitive. [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_m]Jura[/name_m], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Mavis[/name_f]

ophelia daisy ruth -floral and frilly but grounded by [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]

amy meadowlark -oh wow!! I absolutely adore this! So beautiful, friendly and free

tilly madelief - sweet charming and fresh

lenora coast -love this! It gives me poetic and seaside vibes

mona ardith fern - [name_u]Love[/name_u], love [name_f]Ardith[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] and [name_f]Mona[/name_f] is quite nice too. [name_u]Antonia[/name_u] [name_f]Ardith[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] and [name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Ardith[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] came to mind too

iona maeve -love to see [name_f]Iona[/name_f]! Such a bright and distinct name. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] brings a softness

willoughby fawn -fun and cool!

frederick autumn - [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] for a boy!! Yes!! This is such a warm and lovely combo

hazel william -Hazel on a boy :heart_eyes::heart_eyes: this feels balanced and lovely

remy alexander -soft and strong. I enjoy it

beck rhodes - a tiny bit abrupt for me. I do like [name_u]Beck[/name_u] though. [name_u]Beckett[/name_u] [name_u]Rhodes[/name_u]? [name_u]Beck[/name_u] [name_m]Roman[/name_m]?

elias peregrine ‘pip’ -sleek and stylish, I like it!

truett wilde -this is so cool and bright - [name_u]Love[/name_u] these together

linus johnson -love the sharp, bright [name_m]Linus[/name_m]. [name_m]Johnson[/name_m] reminds me too much of [name_u]Boris[/name_u] [name_m]Johnson[/name_m] and the look of this reminds me a tiny bit of [name_m]Lyndon[/name_m] [name_m]Johnson[/name_m] too. [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_u]Jonah[/name_u], [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_u]Jameson[/name_u], [name_m]Linus[/name_m] [name_m]Joel[/name_m]?

jack valentine -sleek and balanced

elio corentin -this feels sunny and elegant

moses florian -handsome and rich sounding

vincent june -June brings a nice softness to the sharp [name_m]Vincent[/name_m]

august griffin -wow! Fresh, outdoorsy and warm

march isidore -literary and lovely. [name_m]Isidore[/name_m] [name_u]March[/name_u] would be sweet too

calvin laurence - [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] is a bit meh to me and the combo feels a little laking compared to the others. [name_u]Cove[/name_u] [name_u]Laurence[/name_u], [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] [name_u]Laurie[/name_u], [name_u]Clarence[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]

herschel appleby - clunky cute

jakob olivier - love [name_m]Olivier[/name_m] but the [name_m]Jakob[/name_m] spelling doesn’t quite feel right? [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Olivier[/name_m] or [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m] [name_m]Olivier[/name_m] would be cool
